Musk spent, what, ~$500m on his Trumpance? But Musk looks like he lost the house & the car in the divorce & also got stuck with the bill for the divorce lawyers. Elon Musk. Always the divorced dad

Steve Bannon wanting SpaceX nationalised is bonkers.

Fitting for today’s cat fight.

Can someone make a Musk v Trump (Whitehouse Edition)? youtu.be/mZTW3a5Ie9w?...

This is glorious. Katy Perry vs Taylor Swift Ultimate Edition. Someone has Bad Blood. Both unleashing their inner teenage drama queen. www.businessinsider.com/a-timeline-o...

What an own goal. Threatening to decommission Dragonfly immediately just ended private space companies gaining NASA contracts. Why would NASA want to do business with a man who even just threatens to do this? www.aljazeera.com/amp/economy/...

Why does ordering from Pets at Home always have to feel Kafkaesque? Tonight's trial of frustration is that the log in doesn't work. It worked earlier. But now it does not. Murph likes coupla things from PAH that I can't get elsewhere. I despise PAH. App: shite. Customer service: uninterested

Poor pup! Murphy has a phantom pregnancy! Her teats are swollen & she's producing milk. Out of all 6 of the rough collies we've had it is always the slim border collie-esque ones that this happens to & never the rounder chubby ones 😄 Sorry, Murph. You'd make a great mama but no babies for you

For Ashley St Clair's silence, Musk offered $15m & $100k/mo till son was 21. Musk tried to get gag order "claiming that any publicity involving the child, or comments by Ms. St. Clair on her experience, would be a security risk for the boy". #DoubleFacePalm #irony www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

Ugh. Glazing much? SpaceX must need more $. He's piggybacking his Mars plans off the back of taxpayer $'s from the NASA Artemis contract. More Mars puff at expense of fulfilling Artemis contract. Musk knows he can't go to Mars without fulfilling Artemis? www.nasaspaceflight.com/2025/05/futu...

He'd certainly do a better job. A country, "USA", ate 75 million MAGAnesium tablets & passed watery stools for 4 yrs out of both ends. USA's neighbour, "CA", found them passed out on the bathroom floor drowning in their own faecal matter. CA called 911. USA was rushed to the ER where we are now.

Since Joe Rogan has gone on a full-scale flame attack on me this week, I've ported over my public letter to him to Spotify I will be responding to the firehose of abuse he's shared with millions soon open.spotify.com/episode/6DBS...

That's one mystery solved, what to do tomorrow afternoon.

De Montfort University: the betrayal of jet-setting executives Leicester's De Montfort University executives treat the university as an international business, with lavish expenses and financial speculation | Chris Taylor

Join us tomorrow at 4pm UK/11am EDT as Dr Bridget Alex @bridgetalex.bsky.social pulls back the curtain on popular science coverage of archaeology! I'm super excited for this one! youtube.com/live/mvg4GrN...

I lived out in the country & came to love the daily visits by Mr P Pheasant, Woman the Blackbird & all her descendants (including Stud Muffin Supermodel Blackbird), the yearly swallow visit & the half dozen mud nest stuck to our buildings, I pity these damn fools www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I hope every piece of excrement that voted for this meets their end a la Final Destination style. Falling into a wood chipper. Getting cubed by a fence. Hair trapped in an elevator. Drainer in a pool. Yeah, THAT one. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx...

I've never been interested in travelling. Good job, as the travel insurance costs more than the plane ticket. I did go abroad for conferences when I was covered by the uni travel insurance - it was amazing (plus free for me). Otherwise I've been priced out www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-...

Well, this was disappointing. I suppose, at this point, it's not surprising...but it is disappointing. medium.com/@hueykendo57...

A letter from "anonymous" in The Canary Rishi Sunak wants to make it harder for people claiming disability benefits. However, MPs get an extra helping of dosh to care for dependents on benefits, presumably this is on top of the individual claiming PIP etc. ... www.thecanary.co/letters/2024...

Only one reason: we pay a flat fee on our council tax. When I lived in Wales I had a water meter & was aware of water use. Living back in Scotland I don't think about it. www-bbc-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.bbc....

There comes a point when all MPs are complicit in this. Will ANY MPs actually call Liz Kendall and her lackies out for inferring that PIP is ESA? www.disabilitynewsservice.com/kendall-refu...
